Its funny, you guys think they are worth nothing yet some people are paying big bucks to import them for newer VQ powered cars, mainly as there are no other options. These ecu's sell for 2k new so there must be a lot of r+d in them unfortunately the fuel is different and the map cant be changed over here. The minute a remap is released for my car, these will be worth nothing again as you say.

Probably because Nismo think it's the same as Euro stuff :down:

Sadly the software/part's doesnt cost anywhere near as much as the Bosch ECU gear (like in Audi/VW Gti's etc), so i cannot see how they are justifying a $1500 flash tune.

I can understand the Euro stuff given the software & codes/license costs big $$...

So doesnt neccesarily mean there is a lot of R&D within the tunes in my book.

yeah it would just be a remap of the std maps to suit fuel, boost up and speed cut removal most likely

its better than the std ECU by far but once you do other mods its time to retune anyway

so whilst your on stock turbos and a bit of a boost up its probably fine

there might be some more midrange / max power gains by a full standalone tune however

do a bit of research before you go flogging it scotty... i searched for about 2 mins and have seen a couple of people that said that map is 100 ron

the sticker on the ecu does say to use premium fuel only. it seems to be running fine on bp ultimate though, but ill try and take it a bit more easy until i go to my mechanics.

ok no probs, the boost restrictor was removed so it runs over 1 bar which other r34 gtr owners said is normal so thats good. maybe the previous owner got nismo turbo's installed as well lol.

doesnt make sense if you think about it

if you have a 34R with aftermarket turbos why would you sell it at the base model price

surely you would jack the price up higher referencing the aftermarket turbochagers etc

i got it in a jap auction with the help of iron chef imports. he knew i was looking for a r34 gtr and he sent me an email with this one that one of his guys got at auction over there and asked if i was interested. so of course i said yes. it probably doesnt have aftermarket turbo's but i can still wish lol.

Best bet is to go to your local nistune guy and suck the timing and fuelling settings out to analyse it, i have had some come in that are PERFECT ie i have charged for a dyno run only as they were so good it was a rort to charge for a tune.

Other times they are rich and advanced too much.

PS its not tunable, once off unfortunately.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
